Nearly all but two rooms in new house are done. One of them is my bedroom. I cannot decide on a color for the bedroom so, what's up? What color is your bedroom?

I also wanted to take a poll on this:

My top 3 colors are:
A) yellow

B) red

C) tan

D) other (please name your 'other' color)

My bedroom walls are red.

white

Dark smokey gray with a subtle hint of purple in it.

Mine are white. As are all my walls. I live in an apartment.

I'm not sure I could imagine having any other color than white, I've been living in apartments so long.

That said, I couldn't live with red, yellow or tan. I could do maybe a pale pink or even a pale grey...

The walls in the living room and dining room were grey when I moved in. I found it dark and depressing. I keep saying I'll post before and after pics but I think I screwed up some of the before pics. The guest room was painted like a muted dusty blue. That's where I am temporarily until my bedroom is completed.

My bedroom is a little too small for something so dark.

I just painted my bedroom a couple of weeks ago. I was originally going to paint it red, but then I found this color in the clearance section where they have all the paint that people returned.





I don't even really like pink, but I loved it once I finished painting. It's nice and bright!

I painted my craft room a similar color. It was a paint from Disney called "Tink". It turned out so cute!

Reply to 'What color are your bedroom walls?'

No.



Ummm, Blue.

light avocado green
we are getting it all repainted and I am championing for WHITE, it's such a dingy room, needs some light in there

3 walls cream! 1 wall burgandy suede finish

All wall are light cream ... bedroom furniture dark wood, cherry, curtain are dark, but sheer dark brown. comforter set is oriental style, quilt like with dark brown, light brown and red cherry blossoms, etc. the light color on the wall really helps make the room look larger, due to the dark furniture.

red maybe.....I would have to buy all new furniture though.

My room is a fair size, not huge but roomy enough to have several pieces of furniture and a queen bed. Everyone who sees my room says it's really peaceful and calming. Wish I had a pic to show but I am not at home tonight.

And darker colours (when it's the right shade) can work in smaller spaces without making the room dark and dreary and depressing.

I always thought bedrooms should be calming and bright primary colours (reds, yellows) are usually not whats considered calming...but I guess that's all about finding the right shade as well.

Green and I hate it


They'll lavender soon

sounds yummy, loove the brown tones

2 walls are Antique Grandmother's Rose

2 walls are cherry wood waynescoating 1/2 way with real granite chip jewl stone " Fire " colour on the top 1/2

all the trim is Incense

the ceiling is moonlight

Just kidding. I really like Ralph Lauren's "denim" paint. Once my year settles down a bit, I might paint my walls with it. We'll see.

my walls are white

but I like peaceful colors for a bedroom like
light purple, blue, turquiose, green, etc.

don't think I could rest peacefully in a red or yellow room

I want to get some of that striped paint

alwayslate said:

i am wondering that myself... am planning a nice poppy red but not sure how the tone of the wood will look with it. i was kind of nervous about going red and wondered if i had enough balls to do it. but i've just finished doing a red wall in my sisters house and i love it! i think i will start with two red walls and see what i think before doing it all red. it's not a very big room.

for you!

The wrong colour! Some drab old wallpaper in cream with green flowers amongst damp patches and brown water marks.

my whole house is painted in shades of off-white.
i used to have every room painted a diff colour but switched to the whites.

The bright turquoise or whatever you want to call it of that bike is nearly the colour .

Thank you .

JustErin said:

my living room is a mild green. It's call "celery". I could do something like that.I'd rather have a lighter shade only because it is a small room. Not like a closet or anything but small. Gotta get some pics for you guys. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.
